       7. A flexible display panel comprising the polyimide-based film of  claim 1 . 
     
     
       8. The polyimide-based film of  claim 1 , wherein the polyimide-based film is formed of a polyimide-based resin having a block polyamide-imide structure. 
     
     
       9. The polyimide-based film of  claim 3 , wherein an in-plane phase difference and a phase difference in a thickness direction of the polyimide-based film measured at a wavelength of 550 nm are 173 to 200 nm and 5,797 to 6,000 nm, respectively. 
     
     
       10. The polyimide-based film of  claim 1 , wherein the polyimide-based film has a yellow index of 1.9.
